NASA Planetary Summer School for Ph.D. Students and Recent Graduates (Apply by April 5)

Short Description:

(Apply by April 5; Two sessions: July 29-Aug. 2 and Aug. 12-16, NASA JPL, Pasadena, Calif.)
NASA is accepting applications from science and engineering post-docs, recent PhDs, and doctoral students for its 25th Annual Planetary Science Summer School. During the program and pre-session webinars, student teams will carry out the equivalent of an early mission concept study, prepare a proposal authorization review presentation, present it to a review board, and receive feedback. By the end of the session, students will have a clearer understanding of the life cycle of a space mission. Partial financial support is available for a limited number of individuals.
